Good during mid of December – October. During mid of October until December, it is monsoon season on the east coast however, as Ko Tao has almost 30 diving sites and the island itself act as a shelter, divers can still dive either sides around the island. There might be a few days when the boat Chumporn to Ko Tao might not operate and in that case, we have to reroute the trip via Ko Samui instead. This can be checked only a few days prior to departure day. Kindly advise clients who arrival during those period to contact our office as soon as they arrive Thailand to check the situation.

Our speciality is off beat and “off-the-beaten-track” arrangements: soft adventure, activity holidays and special interest packages. In 1982, long before the world had heard of eco-tourism we operated our first ornithological tours in Thailand’s national parks and with the knowledge gained from organising such specialised itineraries we have built a range of products that can cater to almost any special interest. Whether it is trekking in remote regions, hite-water rafting or scuba diving; birdwatching, an agricultural study tour or a health & meditation course, we can do it.
